a) If one student is chosen at random, what is the probability of selecting a biology major?
b) If one student is chosen at random, what is the probability of selecting a biology major or a sophomore?
c) If two students are chosen at random, what is the probability of selecting a junior history major and then another junior history major? The selections are made without replacement.
d) If one student is chosen at random, what is the probability of selecting a junior, given that the student chosen is a biology major?
3. A club has 14 members. Five will be chosen to attend a conference. In how many ways can this be done?
4. A club has 12 members. A president and a vice-president must be chosen. In how many ways can this be done?
5. A team has an 85% chance of winning each game that it plays. What is the probability that the team will win exactly 5 of its next 7 games? Use the binomial distribution for this problem.
6. A bank knows that only 5% of its loans ever default. Out of a group of 8 loans, what is the probability that at least one loan will default? Use the binomial distribution for this problem.
7. Student scores on an exam have an average of 72.4 with a standard deviation of 9.8. The scores are normally distributed.

Calculating the marginal densities of y and z
: Suppose X1 ~ U(0,1) and X2 ~ U(0,1). It can be shown that Y=X1/X2 and Z=X1*X2 have joint density function given by f(y,z) = 1/2y for y>z>0 and yz
